So that mean that the server actually closes the connection (at least from Gnus' point of view). > If I look at the packages, then the client side sends a FIN, ACK, and > then a RST, ACK, just before the connection terminates. FIN means that the sender (which in this case is the client machine) has no more data, and RST is reset the connection. If the time stamps of the packages, and the order in wireshark can be trusted, then for some reason, the TCP connection is torn down from the client side, and the NNTP server responds to the terminating TCP connection with a 250 response... which of course makes Gnus thinks the server has closed the connection. But where the FIN and RST comes from, I have no idea.
